"I've thought about what Junior Sister Xie said. We can do this …" Gong Chi paused.
"That's enough," Lu Sheng interrupted her. "Let's talk about it when we meet them, if they can survive until then."
The people from the Youyin Sect were immediately displeased by this. This was obviously belittling everyone in the Youyin Sect.
They didn't deny that Lu Sheng was very, very strong, but the Youyin Sect's Li Mai and his sister were also top experts of their generation, especially Eldest Senior Brother Li Mai. Even someone as proud as Sun Rongji from the Spirit Bind Sect had to lower his head and praise him for his bravery.
Gong Chi's expression also changed slightly.
"Don't even think about running. I'm still waiting for you to come with me to buy information. If you run, I'll kill everyone from the Youyin Sect." Lu Sheng looked at Gong Chi and shattered her fantasy.
"Senior Brother Lu can find someone from the Thousand Lords Association to buy, right?" Gong Chi's expression changed.
"Why would I find someone else when you're already here?" Lu Sheng asked. "Plus, I don't want to pay."
"…" Lu Sheng was probably the only person in the entire Thousand Sun Sect who could say this so confidently.
Gong Chi, Xie Yuqiong, and the rest of the people from the Youyin Sect were all speechless.
To put it nicely, Lu Sheng was a ruthless person who would do anything to achieve his goals. To put it bluntly, he was a scoundrel, and an insanely powerful one at that.
"Right, you said you'd lend me 20,000 Devil Gold. Do you still owe me?" Suddenly, Lu Sheng turned to look at Xie Yuqiong.
Xie Yuqiong's expression froze for a moment, then turned the color of pig liver.
"Senior Brother Lu … I said 8,000 to 10,000 … not 20,000?!"
"I clearly heard 20,000 Devil Gold." Lu Sheng stared at Xie Yuqiong with a subtle expression.
The Xie siblings clearly felt a trace of danger, and they became somewhat nervous. Especially Xie Yusheng, who had always been protected by his sister and didn't have the courage or strength to begin with. He almost wet his pants now.
"20,000 … is too much …" Xie Yuqiong tried to argue under the pressure of Lu Sheng's aura.
"Not much. It's not much to buy the two of you. "Lu Sheng said meaningfully," This is a friendly price. "
Xie Yuqiong immediately understood what he meant. Paying twenty thousand Devil Gold at once was indeed not a small sum for her and her family. Ever since she and her brother entered the Thousand Sun Sect, they had some talent and achievements, so they had always received full support from their family. After all, even if he had to spend money, if he could do well in the Three Major Sects, he would gain experience and background in the future, and he could use this to open up many new businesses.
If they could obtain a better ranking in the Inner Courtyard Battle, not only would they receive better rewards from the Three Sects, but they would also receive more attention from the upper echelons. These were all hidden resources that could not be bought with money.
With that in mind, Xie Yuqiong nodded.
"I understand. Twenty thousand Devil Gold is indeed not expensive."
"Sister!" Xie Yusheng didn't react and looked at her in shock.
"In addition, in return, I can help you recruit other disciples. How about 30,000 Devil Gold per person? "Xie Yuqiong was also a ruthless person. In the blink of an eye, she was ready to sell the others as well.
"How much is that?" Lu Sheng asked in return.
"It's not much for a few extremely rich people, but it's something that most people can afford even if they have to grit their teeth," Xie Yuqiong replied.
"Then it's settled." Lu Sheng nodded, satisfied. This was also a way to earn money that he had thought of in a flash. It just so happened that he was seriously short of money. The Thousand Sun Sect might not have much, but they had a lot of money. If they didn't take the opportunity to earn some, they would be letting down their good reputation.
"You …!" Gong Chi was dumbfounded. Shouldn't it be natural for them to bring their own disciples along? Why did it become like this when it came to Lu Sheng?
"Junior Sister Gong, what do you think?" Lu Sheng looked at Gong Chi.
Gong Chi couldn't suppress the surprise on her face, but her expression quickly changed.
"Looks like Senior Brother Lu plans to get rid of us last? What if we don't pay up? "
Lu Sheng immediately sighed. "If you already know, why did you say it?"
"If that's the case, then please kill me now, Senior Brother Lu. Otherwise, please let us go." Gong Chi quickly calmed down.
Lu Sheng didn't expect Gong Chi to be so determined. He looked her up and down again. He didn't care about finding people anymore, and he had already comprehended the clay tablet Master Qian Du Su Ningfei gave him. The only thing he lacked was understanding and communication with the Devil Master level.
"Alright, you can take your people and leave. I've taken care of you enough on the way here. "He finally nodded.
"Goodbye!" Gong Chi finally understood that they were from the Youyin Sect, not the Thousand Sun Sect. They couldn't afford that much money. 30,000 Devil Gold was enough to buy even some high-quality Divine Weapon shards. Unless they went bankrupt, who among the three sects would have that much spare money to buy rankings after spending so much money on facilities like the True Essence Tower?
The group of Youyin Sect experts quickly left, carrying with them a sense of indignation.
"Do these people really think they're so great? If it weren't for Senior Brother Lu, they wouldn't even be able to make it here. " Xie Yusheng also realized that he and his brother had gotten a great bargain. He started to look down on the Youyin Sect people, thinking that they were disrespectful to Senior Brother Lu after getting a great bargain.
"It's not like we should've helped them. They should be grateful that they made it this far, but they're still angry at Senior Brother Lu. That's a bad attitude." Xie Yuqiong also nodded.
Lu Sheng smiled. In his mind, however, he was still thinking about the old Dharmaraja he had just met.
"Let's go. The Buddha's Wheel Temple area is basically cleared. We'll go directly to the other areas and see if there are any Thousand Sun Sect disciples left," he said in a low voice. If he could save one more, it would all be money. What business could be more profitable than this?
"Yes! Senior Brother! "Xie Yuqiong and her brother quickly answered.
"Uh … then we're waiting for someone …" Xuan Zhu and the others had been standing at the side without saying anything, and finally had the chance to speak. They all looked awkwardly in Lu Sheng's direction.
"We know Senior Brother Lu won't help us for no reason. We're not from the Thousand Sun Sect, and we don't have enough money to buy a ranking. However … we can exchange a piece of information we got earlier. Let's see if Senior Brother Lu can take us with him. "
"What information?" Lu Sheng's interest was piqued. What kind of information could be worth tens of thousands of Devil Gold?
"It's about the Spirit Bind Sect. Everyone from the Spirit Bind Sect is gathering at a place with three pagodas, led by Eldest Senior Brother Sun Rongji. It should be the same as Senior Brother Lu's plan. Gather our own people first, eliminate those who don't, and fight for a better ranking. "
"Then what sect are you from? Why are you telling us such important information? "Xie Yuqiong couldn't help but ask.
"We're only from the Outer Sect …" Xuan Zhu smiled bitterly.
The so-called Outer Sect referred to the smaller sects that had good relationships with the three major sects. If they had extremely talented disciples, or paid enough, they would have a chance to join the competition.
This was also a bit of hope the three major sects gave to the other sects.
"If the information is true, then I'll consider taking you to the end," Lu Sheng said softly as he glanced at the three people behind Xuan Zhu.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu!!" Xuan Zhu and the other three were overjoyed. Only after seeing how terrible the environment was did they understand how much help it would be to follow such a powerful master.
Lu Sheng's group of three, plus Xuan Zhu's group of four, made up a total of seven people. They left the Buddha Wheel Temple area and headed towards the giant Buddha statue in the center.
Along the way, Lu Sheng killed every Spirit Bind Sect disciple he saw and collected money from the others. If they could afford to pay, then he would take them with him. If they couldn't, then they could only leave quietly.
As they moved further and further, more than ten small Buddha temples were all flattened by Lu Sheng. More than 20 Spirit Bind Sect disciples were killed by him and kicked out of the competition.
This greatly damaged the Moling Prefecture's team. As one of the three major sects, they were originally stronger than the Thousand Sun Sect and on par with the Youyin Sect. But after what Lu Sheng did, their numbers dropped drastically.
…
Outer area of the Black Seal Temple, drill ground.
The upper echelons of the Thousand Sun Sect, Spirit Bind Sect, and Youyin Sect were all gathered together, watching the battle in the inner area of the Black Seal Temple being broadcasted on a huge round mirror on the drill ground.
Among the elders of the Thousand Sun Sect, Master Yuan Zheng, a white-bearded old man about the height of a normal person, was currently controlling the flag of the Congealing Essence Formation, which was responsible for the live broadcast. He adjusted the image's clarity and brightness.
The image was currently showing a few Spirit Bind Sect masters methodically using the Spirit Bind Yin Souls they summoned to entangle a closed-eyed Vajra, slowly grinding it to death.
A few Thousand Sun Sect disciples waited quietly on the side, sitting inside a faint golden formation and watching the Spirit Bind Sect people fight to the death with the closed-eyed Vajra.
After a while, the closed-eyed Vajra was ground to death. The people of the Thousand Sun Sect hurriedly walked up and handed over some gold notes with a smile. The leader of the Spirit Bind Sect took them with a smile. The scene looked extremely harmonious.
"This bunch of brats!" Venerable Yuan Zheng was infuriated when he saw this scene. Blatantly bribing competitors — this was a disgrace to the Thousand Sun Sect!
He quickly adjusted the image again. Soon, the people of the Youyin Sect were fighting one on one against a few white-clothed men and women with white feathers on their arms.
These men and women all wore silver masks and held long white spears with strange symbols carved on them. They were very powerful, and when they swung their spears, they could easily cut through the black membrane defense. If it weren't for their slow movements and slow reactions, the people of the Youyin Sect would have lost already. But now, the people of the Youyin Sect had the upper hand.
The people of the Thousand Sun Sect were also shown in the corner of the image, making some hand signals to the people of the Youyin Sect from afar. They seemed to be numbers or something.
One person from the Youyin Sect also came out and exchanged a few hand signals.
Soon, the two sides seemed to have reached a price.
"Five thousand Devil Gold, give us one." The man from the Thousand Sun Sect who was bargaining smiled proudly. "They wanted eight thousand at first. Don't you know what I do for a living? I lowered the price to five thousand in a few rounds. "
His proud smile was instantly magnified on the mirror. The mirror, which was dozens of meters in diameter, clearly reflected the man's face.
Immediately, the upper echelons of the drill ground roared with laughter.
